I would guess 1 million to get it to where it was and another million for updates and improvements to the course and facilities. That’s not including payroll, utilities, inventory, etc.


Not even close. I did a bunker renovation on 3 acres of bunkers in 2020 and it was 635K. the bluffs needs greeens renovated, bulkhead work, bunkers renovated, etc.. this is a massive undertaking. its not as simple as cuttting the grass and spraying a few weeds. Think Cypress Bend Project. Plus Equipment pricing has increase 60% in the last 4 years.

Arnold Palmer Course Design is the perfect company to come in and redefine a Palmer course.

I passed by this past December just to take a look. Greens need a total rebuild. They had bad construction from the start and I don't think just strip the weeds off and replant would work.

Fairways and tees you can mow and spray and get right with time. Bunkers need total rebuild.

Irrigation? May need total redo also. Not sure what shape everything was in.

And wait 9 months for a new piece of equipment. I’ve had to resort to John Deere.

I know a certain poster will read this.
